Chapter Ninety-Four: Shelling

Yang Xingguo nodded and replied with a serious face: "Okay, tonight, I will sit in the artillery company position...... I watched you perform miracles for me and blow up the old Maozi military camp into a sea of fire......"

Soon, an hour passed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhong Hu, who received Yang Xingguo's signal, was like taking a stimulant, and ordered with an excited face.

"Shoot ......"

"Boom ......" accompanied by a dull roar of artillery fire sounded in the artillery position, and the black hole muzzle of the six mountain guns immediately sprayed out six orange-red flames.

Six scorching mountain artillery shells also flew out of the barrels under the wrapping of these six flames.

Then, with a scream, it flew into the sky......

The distance is less than two miles, and for a fast-flying shell, it is only two or three seconds.

Yang Xingguo, who heard the sound of cannonballs, just raised his head and looked in the direction of Lao Maozi's military camp.

The six orange-red fireballs that suddenly rose from the Lao Maozi military camp entered Yang Xingguo's field of vision. Immediately after, the violent explosion of the cannonball reached Yang Xingguo's ears.

Although there was no way to witness the specific results of these six shells with his own eyes, with Yang Xingguo's understanding of the power of mountain artillery shells, coupled with Lao Maozi's lack of any military camp that could be used for concealment. Yang Xingguo is confident that the results that can be achieved by these six shells are definitely beyond his imagination.

Of course, Yang Xingguo at this moment is not in the mood to think about this.

As soon as the six shells exploded, Yang Xingguo's eyes quickly shifted to the artillery position, confirming that dozens of gunners could safely complete a new round of loading and prepare for the opening of the artillery......

Fortunately for Yang Xingguo, the movements of these gunners were very rusty and very slow. However, nothing went wrong.

Soon, a new round of artillery fire reached Yang Xingguo's ears.

Because of the subtle effect of the strong recoil force produced by the first round of shelling on the artillery, although dozens of gunners did not move the artillery at all, the second round of shells fell less than 20 meters away from the first round of shells......

Therefore, the second round of shells brought to Lao Maozi is not worse than the first round of shells......

The Lao Maozi military camp, which was hit by two rounds of artillery fire in a row, has become a thousand chaos at this moment.

In the barracks, which was completely shrouded in night, the attacked old Maozi, like a frightened rabbit, began to skewer around, trying to avoid the shells falling from the sky.

However, when there were no trenches to hide, they scattered around, not only failed to evade the blows, but increased the lethality of the shells after the explosion to a certain extent......

In addition, the landing location of each shell is different, and the damage brought by these shells to Lao Maozi is even greater.

In the Lao Maozi military camp, every explosion will take away several, or even a dozen, of Lao Maozi's lives.

The tent where Major General Vasily was located, because of the hidden terrain, was at the dead end of the mountain artillery.

Although there was no attack, the atmosphere inside the tent was very solemn.

Major General Vasily was like an angry lion, yelling in the tent, catching and cursing whomever he wanted.

Because, out of the discovery, he once promised in front of all his subordinates that even if the bandits captured his six mountain cannons, the bandits would not use them. And it was precisely because of this self-confidence that he dared to block the strength of a regiment directly at the gate of the bandit station.

However, he once again looked down on his opponent.

The opponent will not only use mountain artillery, but also can shoot cannonballs into his own military camp very accurately.

Such a result, for Vasily, was a living slap in the face.

Soon, a captain with a face full of gunpowder smoke burst into the tent and reported loudly.

"Your Excellency the division commander, we have found the bandits' mountain artillery position, and the bandits' artillery position is eight hundred meters north of us......

"Eight hundred meters, not particularly far......" In front of business, Vasily finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

After only a brief moment of contemplation, a strong murderous aura emanated from Vasily's body, and he commanded loudly......

"What are you still doing, order all the officers and men of the regiment to withdraw from the barracks immediately, launch an attack on the bandit artillery position, and recapture the six mountain artillery ...... we lost."

"The division commander thinks twice...... The bandits were armed with artillery and took the initiative to attack, didn't that send the soldiers to death? A deputy regiment commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders reminded anxiously......

The angry Major General Vasily asked loudly without thinking about it: "Then what do you say...... As long as we don't recapture these mountain cannons for a day, no matter where we are stationed, we will be under the fire of the bandits and suffer heavy losses......"

"Retreat, immediately withdraw ......the troops," the deputy regiment commander replied subconsciously.

"As long as we withdraw from this mountain and return to the county seat, the bandits will not be able to help us. The bandits have limited strength and not many artillery, so it is impossible to transport them out of the mountains to attack the county seat......"

"I am ......not willing to retreat in such an embarrassment," Major General Vasily, who was furious, turned into an angry lion again and roared loudly......

However, no matter how much he roars, facts are facts......

In order to keep more soldiers alive, Vasily finally accepted the proposal to retreat.

Lao Maozi, who lost two or three hundred people in the artillery attack, in order to ask the bandits' artillery attack as soon as possible, whether it was grain, grass or baggage, he didn't want it all.

More than 1,500 old Maozi rushed out of the barracks with only weapons and ammunition, and began to retreat along the winding mountain road.

However, less than half an hour after they withdrew from the barracks, they were targeted by an ambush army arranged by Yang Xingguo, the first combat battalion of the Yangjiazhai regiment.
